CHE CHUANG (Chinese, b. 1934 in Bejing) Che Chuang was a principal member of the Fifth Moon Group - a group of Chinese artists who pioneered the modern art movement in post- war Taiwan. Their coalescense of American Abstract Expressionism and traditional Chinese Calligraphy generated a new aesthetic that advocated for their own cultural heritage while adopting aspects of visual language of the west. HAM SUP (Korean, b. 1942 in Chuncheon) Ham Sup is regarded as a pioneer in hanji (mulberry paper) art for his revolutionary approach to what has typically been considered a utilitarian medium. His abstract and expressive compositions effectively combine tradition and Modern abstraction, celebrating the Korea of both the past and present. 2 NE of 6th on Dolores | Carmel by the Sea, CA 93921 | Tel 831.625.2288 | www.westbrookmodern.com Bretagne, circa 1970 8.25" x 11.25" Gouache by T'ang Haywen Daydream, 2009 35.25" x 51.25" Mullberry paper collage by Ham Sup MASTERS OF ASIAN MODERN ART Summertime, 1979 50" x 78" Oil on canvas by Chuang Che
